💥Common Gym Terms: Dat BroScience💥
💪
We all know a bro who got his degree from the bodybuilding.com forums. Don’t get me wrong, there are some smart cats on there, smarter than me I’m sure. But, most of them read something on the internet once and now sing that “science” at the top of their lungs during a gym session.
💪
You Mirin’ Bro? = When a bro thinks someone is looking at them because they’ve gotten bigger. Nah, man. Everyone is just checking to make sure you’re okay. All that screaming and stomping of feet during your warmup from curls had us worried.
💪
Hittin These Boulders = Not near as bad of a bro term, but when you hear boulders when referring to exercise they’re talking about shoulders.
💪
I got the DOMS = Just another way to say you’re sore. In all seriousness though DOMS is when you get sore 2-3 days after a lift rather than one.
💪
If the Bar Aint Bending You’re Just Pretending = When the guy at the gym who more than likely doesn’t have a body 95% of people in the gym would want preaches that you should lift heavy no matter the form.
💪
You Need at Least 2-3g/lb in Protein = This is the guy who knows nothing about nutrition. Nah, just nah.
💪
Anabolic Window = This is the magical window of gainz that closes forever 30min after you finish your last rep. For real though if you hit your daiy cals and protein goal the window its 24 hours wide.
💪
Iron Maiden = Some bros call chicks who lift heavy this. I’ve only heard it in person a few times but you never know. Lollol
💪
Lookin’ Vascular Bro = When someone notices your veins. Things do get serious when you have a bicep vein though.
💪

30+ pounds down feels great! I've stacked on a ton of muscle and shed a fair amount of fat. My goal is far from where I am but, I know it's attainable. This journey has just begun, and so have I. Huge shoutout to all the people who have helped me on this path! @kingdrake_lamar @fortitudo_fitness @j_parker_stout And to all the bros I didn't tag!#UnleashTheBeast#broscience#gb3#beefyboy

Think back to one of those conversations in the gym or on the training ground: someone spreading their thoughts on the latest fitness insights, trends and insider tips. It’s become known as #Broscience . The question is, to what extent should we listen to these conversations?

One day the children of my haters will say, “We lived in the days of rambo”. 😝😁

Intelligence 🤓 comes in many forms.
.
Some of the most successful people I know never went to college 📚, while some of the most educated 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓people I know have a hard time functioning socially. Education gained through formal schooling ✏️ increases analytical intelligence (Book Smarts) while education learned through interaction 🤝 increases practical intelligence (Street Smarts). Whatever your work may be, you need a balance ⚖️ of both for success.
.
In the early days of bodybuilding 💪🏼, to my knowledge there were no in depth scientific 🔬 studies about time under tension, maximal glycogen load, leucine’s sub-metabolite HMB and it’s impacts on muscle sparing, etc. Street smarts/bro science was all that existed back then as knowledge about what worked/failed through trial and error was shared among the OG #pumpingiron crew 💪🏼 at @goldsgym Venice ☀️.
.
On the flip side, we now have people that refuse to do absolutely anything at all unless you have a scientific study backing it saying it’s the “best” 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄 When it comes to exercise, it’s more Important to build a lifestyle you can maintain 👍🏼rather than incorporate techniques completely inappropriate for your schedule/goals/genetics for a negligible gain in efficiency.
.
Find what works for you. Do the work. Profit. 😎

For those of you who want a real and sustainable lifestyle change, but don't know how to achieve your goals or what to do, having a coach is a great way to see the results you want. It's okay to ask for help...in fact it shows strength and a willingness to take positive steps towards our goals. Everyone at the gym started from nothing and I have personally learned most of what I know from others and from my coach.
@claytonp525 is my coach and he monitors my diet, workout regimine and is my biggest line of support. I was seeing results when I was working out and trying different dieting approaches on my own, but nothing compared to when Clay came into the picture. Having a knowledgable coach to oversee your progress and make changes for optimal improvement is the best decision I could have made for myself, and you might find it is worthwhile as well! Especially as we approach the new year and resolutions are made. 🎄❤ Message Clay if you're interested and would like to know more about coaching and dieting/workout plans! I 100% recommend it. 🏆

With the new year approaching let’s touch on steady state cardio 😵😱 First off this graph is straight from the NASM text book. Ok, so the box on the right shows the EPOC “exercise post oxygen consumption” this is the recovery time AFTER a workout. As you can see from the graph EPOC post steady state drops off significantly post cardio within minutes 📉 Now the EPOC from interval training & resistance training can last more than 24 hrs!!! This means the intensity style of exercise has much more potential to burn fat in the long run than jogging for 30 min or using the elliptical for an hour. In fact long steady state (more than like 40 min) can lower your metabolism in the long run, while intervals and weights increase your metabolism + LBM ⚖️ Basically if you want to get lean fast, lift weights and do interval based cardio (HIIT). Don’t get me wrong steady state has its place but if want the fastest results and don’t have hours to spend in the gym 5 days a week stick to intensity training 💪🏼 If you have questions on how to maximize your metabolism and lean body mass this new year send me a DM and we can discuss a game plan 📩😃

Isolating the pectoralis major with @djashtonmartin 🥩🍰 Trouble stoking the pec muscles isn’t a new thing. Here are some straight facts to assist your progress:
The pec doesn’t attach to the shoulder blades, though it is a driver. It also doesn’t attach to the hand.
Drop the weight and pull the shoulder blades closer together, when pressing put your mind / muscle focus on bringing the elbows closer together while squeezing a dime between the pecs. If the hands are touching YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR and are actually unloading the pec!
Every joint from the hand to the pec is a degree of separation that can keep you from your results. Don’t let them intervene by paying attention to your alignment.
Enjoy thinking those facts through, use them to build mass and function.

completely different type of training and I LOVED it. more of a @sethferoce style of training where I do what I feel like works on that day and the pump is ridiculous !

Wellness Wednesday!
Even with a healthy nutritional plan, your liver is a crucial organ that takes on a serious workload. Nearly every toxin and chemical that enters your bloodstream gets processed or disposed of by your liver. Daily life forces your body to filter an abundance of contaminants on its own, but that demand increases even further when drugs, alcohol or medical conditions come into play, and even more so when you find yourself surrounded by other environmental toxins and pollution.
LIVER SUPPORT FORMULA gives your body the defense you need to fight off potentially performance-robbing plateaus you may reach when your liver is overtaxed.
The natural extracts in LIVER SUPPORT FORMULA effectively add to your body’s ability to handle everything you and your environment throw at it. Milk Thistle Extract has been used successfully for years to maintain a healthy liver and protect it from damage, and it is often prescribed to treat various liver damaging conditions. Dandelion Root Extract is known for its liver-detoxifying properties while Artichoke Extract protects the liver by increasing the ability of bile produced in the liver to effectively deal with lipid processing.
LIVER SUPPORT FORMULA provides the help your body needs to protect and support a healthy liver.
Get your bottle at the @bodyglow2001 location nearest you.

Just some deads from Tuesday. Tried to take 485 for a spin but it just wasn't there that day.
So just backed down to 375 x5 for an AMRAP (as many reps as possible)
Happy with the sumo progress so far. Still need some work locking my legs and getting under the bar but we'll get there.
